Pecan is a Peckham based charity working to tackle the causes of poverty and multiple disadvantage. Within Pecan, the Southwark and Lewisham Women's Hubs provide support for women affected by the criminal justice system and experiencing complex needs. The hubs enable women to access 1:1 advocacy from a Women's Advocate, a safe space to access information and advice, as well as a programme of holistic activities which promote improved wellbeing and mental health. We work in partnership with probation, as well as other voluntary sector organisations providing support to women in the borough.

As an organisation, Pecan has been serving people through a variety of local projects for over 30 years.

Contract History

Supporting information
The Southwark and Lewisham Women's Hubs are centres for women involved with, or at risk of being involved with the CJS. The hubs offer 1:1 advocacy support, a safe space to access information and advice, and a programme of holistic activities and courses open to women in these two boroughs. The hubs also host a range of other support services ranging from probation, domestic abuse support, housing advice, sexual health advice, and employment help. As One Stop Shops, the centres prevent women from falling through gaps in support by enabling them to access a range of provision in one location.
